Chicagoans to weigh in on ward map debate

January 11, 2012

The process of remapping Chicago’s 50 wards, which takes place every 10 years as new Census data comes in has been called a mess, an opportunity and more. A deal among Chicago’s City Council members has yet to be made and the public now gets a chance to weigh in. The first in a series of hearings begins Wednesday, so Eight Forty-Eight tackled the issue. WBEZ's bureau reporters and political reporter Sam Hudzik joined the show to help: Natalie Moore is the South Side bureau reporter, Chip Mitchell runs the West Side bureau and Odette Youseff reports from WBEZ's North Side bureau.
